Property portfolios, transactions, ongoing projects, the development of city districts, sustainability efforts, skills development, customer satisfaction — each day, thousands of details need to come together to form a whole that strengthens our market position. Every piece comes together thanks to our employees, who energetically and enthusiastically continue to develop our position as a dynamic force in the Öresund region. Our financial strength has put us on a strong footing and given us the freedom we need to continue driving efforts to develop the community we belong to.
The Öresund region is where we call home
The leading property company in the region
Wihlborgs offers commercial premises to companies and organisations in the Öresund region, where we are market leading in the three Swedish cities. Our customers include public and private sector organisations. The property portfolio comprises office and retail premises, logistics and production premises as well as land for future projects.
Our belief in the Öresund region is unshakable and represents an important part of our strategy — to be the leading commercial property company in the region. Our commitment to the region and our shared community help us to think long term, and that we are part of creating the prerequisites for the business community in the region to develop positively.
Vibrant urban environments for everyone
Over the years, we have amassed extensive knowledge about business conditions in the region, which has given us the courage and imagination to take initiatives that benefit the region’s development. We want to create vibrant urban environments that work for everyone who lives and works there.
Every day, we see examples of how the future cannot simply be a continuation of the here and now — that we cannot merely continue doing what we have always done. New initiatives, new positive examples and a desire to find solutions for a more sustainable society are all required. If we can produce solutions that are better adapted to the environment, either alone or together with our suppliers, then we will. And our environmental initiatives are a natural, integral part of all our business activities.

Our business concept
Specialising in efficient submarkets in the Öresund region, Wihlborgs will own, manage in-house and develop commercial properties, thereby enabling tenants to grow and develop.
Our perspective on sustainability
Wihlborgs acts to promote the company’s and region’s longterm sustainable development. Our focus is on responsible business, commitment to the region and its community, being an attractive employer and sustainable properties.
Our corporate culture
The commitment and trust of our employees is of utmost importance to us. We work closely with our customers and our values are knowledge, honesty, action and community.
Our business model – a responsive structure close to the customer
At Wihlborgs, we have a simple and flat organization with short decision paths. Our business model for long-term sustainable growth consists of two key parts.
-
Property management is the core of our business. Our ambition is to be the market leader in each submarket, strengthening our business model, our offering, and our development opportunities. By providing modern and flexible spaces in prime locations, as well as opportunities for tenants to grow within Wihlborgs' portfolio, we enable growth for the businesses that choose us.
All property management is handled by our own staff—a strategic decision to build strong customer relationships and remain responsive to both current and future needs. Each regional team has clear responsibilities and extensive knowledge of the properties, ensuring continuity and reliability. Daily interactions with our tenants are primarily managed by our property caretakers, who are always on-site in their respective areas.
-
To maintain an attractive offering, we continuously develop and refine existing properties through renovations and extensions. We also drive growth and create new opportunities by acquiring and constructing new properties. Additionally, we actively contribute to the development of districts and cities, as vibrant urban environments enhance attractiveness for our customers and increase overall value.
Our portfolio of existing building rights provides strong opportunities to meet potential customer needs, while we continuously explore opportunities to acquire additional land for new projects. We focus on locations with strong transport connections—station-adjacent sites for office buildings and proximity to major European highways, the Öresund Bridge, ferries, and railways for logistics and production facilities.
Our goals
Our business concept
Wihlborgs specialises in efficient sub-markets in the Öresund region, where we own, manage in-house and develop commercial properties, thereby enabling tenants to grow and develop.
Business goals
Our business model consists of two parts: property management and project development. The result from these two parts, together with changes in the value of real estate, is what lays the foundation for our financial stability. We have formulated three overarching goals linked to our core business: management results, surplus rate and project investments.
Sustainability
We have selected five overarching goals that cover the central parts of our sustainability work. These sustainability goals refer to customers' willingness to recommend us, employee engagement, community-oriented sponsorship, environmental certifications and climate impact.
Climate goals
Wihlborgs has for many years worked actively to reduce climate impact. In 2020, we joined the Science Based Targets initiative, and from June 2021 we are working towards halving the climate-affecting emissions that occur in the entire value chain by 2030. And that the entire operation must be climate neutral by the year 2045.
